Breaking with two centuries of political tradition, Drumpf didn’t ask Americans to place their trust in each other or in God, but rather, in Trump.
Has any American political leader claimed so directly to embody the nation, to speak for it, to be its sole hope for redemption?
The most striking aspect of his speech wasn’t his delivery, even though his tone often strayed over the line, from emphatic to strident. It wasn’t the specific policies he outlined, long fixtures of his stump speech. It was the extraordinary spectacle of a man standing on a podium, elevated above the surrounding crowd, telling the millions of Americans who were watching that he, alone, could solve their problems.
Our do-nothing President Drumpf has decided that he’s earned yet more leisure time despite not having actually accomplished anything besides taking credit for President Obama’s hard work.
This weekend, Trump is visiting the Drumpf National Golf Club in Virgina – his ninth trip to a golf course in the fifty-one days he’s been the president.
The Washington Post determined that out of 744 hours in his first month, Trump spent just 27 of them in briefings, while spending 25 hours golfing and 106 hours relaxing at his Mar-a-Lago mansion.
